A time to spend with our families doing things we often end up fighting over, a time to complain about how hot it is (only if we're talking about the humidity of course), and a time to watch men on the beach walk around with their young daughters proudly wearing their D. I expect "I know what went on in my head when I was a young man," is the first line of defence a D.

In this case, it’s a scared, miserable kid singing about his dad (“‘Father’ is a name you haven’t earned yet”) repeatedly getting drunk and beating his mom (“She’s just a woman… “Goodbye, Earl” follows the exploits of best friends Mary Anne and Wanda as they plot the death of Wanda’s abusive husband Earl, who, after Wanda files for divorce, “walked right through that restraining order / and put her in intensive care.” (Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines delivers the line “It didn’t take ’em long to decide that Earl had to die” with particular glee.) Once Earl is poisoned by black-eyed peas, wrapped in a tarp, and dumped in a lake to rot, the police swiftly abandon the case, since Earl is “a missing person who nobody missed at all.” Taking the black humor of the song one step further, the celebrity-laden video features Dennis Franz as the mulleted Earl, who posthumously reappears as a dancing corpse. Miranda Lambert, “Gunpowder & Lead”Miranda Lambert updates the country tradition of female revenge songs by throwing in a dash of braggadocio.

“His fist is big, but my gun’s bigger,” she sings, bridging the gap between self-defense and schoolyard taunt.

Basically, don't offend, even in the context of describing a scene from a movie: it's not on and wont be tolerated. However, to paraphrase Jerry, you have to help them help you.

We wont edit your posts (we don't do that on Whirlpool), but we will hide them (they can be unhidden once the content that broke a rule is removed). So, provide keywords, themes, even trivial details may help.
